Moody Blues, The - Hope And Pray Lyrics






I see the headlights
Shining on the wall
It seems I've got a visitor
Who is kind enough to call
And I hope and I pray, everyday
I hope and I pray it's you.

I thought I heard some footsteps
On the floor
And tell me am I dreaming
Or is it someone at the door
'Cos I hope and I pray
Everyday
I hope and pray, it's you

Autumn turns to winter
And winter turns to spring
I only know the passing of the days
And if you were to ask me
About the meaning of my life
It kind of lost it's meaning
On the day you went away
You know that when it comes
To matters of the heart
I thought I had it covered
But it's tearing me apart
And I hope and I pray
Everyday
I hope and I pray, it's you.

Autumn turns to winter
And winter turns to spring
The summer sun still lingers
In my head
If it wasn't for the letters
That you wrote me from the heart
I'd sometime wonder baby
If I dreamed it all instead
You see I've got to feel your hand
Upon my face
I need to get the calling
To rejoin the human race
And I hope and I pray
Every day
I hope and I pray, it's you.

Moody Blues, The Hope And Pray Comments

    As I publicly stated on social media about this particular song, which is so awesome! : "Sometimes I think that the loss that Justin Hayward yearns so much about in his very heartfelt songwriting is for a reattachment to his Creator. This old post-classic 7 rockker should have had more listeners IMHO. Favorite line? ~ "I need to get the calling to rejoin the human race."👽

    So much better than rap , music that has a great sounds and meaning. Always loved the moody blues!

    @William Rhinehart This song "The Day We Meet Again" has become the DEEPEST CONNECTION my family of 3 sisters & 2 brothers has with our deceased parents, my Man. Its so heartfelt and soul soothing. Tnx for your words about it as you have reminded me of yet another more recent gem by Justin as these words of thanks to you came into memory : "Bring me some redemption. Take me home. Take me where my heart lies ~ NOW I KNOW THAT I'M NOT ALONE." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vKfaA6egf5Q

    Such an underrated album. One of their best post-core seven albums.

  9. V.... M....

    The essence of what "Love" and consequently, it's loss, is truly all about. Fast paced, yet so touching. Fast moving clips really complement this song. You gave this gem a breath of originality, EssentialDegnities. Thanks.

  10. C.... ....

    "The summer sun still lingers in my head...". One of the best lines ever written. Memories of the summer of love 1967.

    Gotta love Haywords and the Moodies stuff. What a wonderful song. Good old Justin must have had me in mind when he sat down and penned this one. The line "...when it comes to matters of the heart I thought I had it covered but its tearing me apart..." surely had him thinking of me! LOL (kinda). Great post. I need to get the calling to rejoin the human race.

  20. A.... C....

    you put so much love and hard work into your videos they should win some kind of award.  thanks for the pleasure of viewing them.  and the moodies music just tops it off perfectly

  26. J.... k....

    Hayward is just quite simply a musical genius

  27. S.... R....

    I love the Moody Blues, have since I was a kid and then their music lost some of the allure and I hung on until Sur La Mer, but that was it. I bought this record though and ironically I was going through some personal tough times, this song came on my iPod shuffle (of 50,000 songs) and now I will always have a great affinity for this song and the Moodies. A great montage, great song. The world would be a bit better if hoped and prayed, I think

  28. P.... R....

    One of many Moody tunes that bring back many happy memories. Bless you.

  29. B.... H....

    Personal favorite! Very nice interpretation. Thanks for posting.

  30. E.... ....

    When I first created this video..it was pretty good- but after a few weeks- I felt that I had to put some extra things in it via the visuals to match this beautiful music- Thank you for watching and commenting!

    whoever put this video together has really got it together,

    I bought my 1st Moody Blues record album in 1967 (Fly Me High) at the age of 20. For the past 45 years I have kept their music and their lyrics close to me. I have loved, and lost, more than once along the way but their magical music somehow always brings the best moments of my life back to me, again and again. Thank you, Moody Blues, for making my life's best memories just a little better. May you sing on for all my days, and beyond..................

    R.... C....

    I'm thinking how could we have ever done life without tha Moodies !!??

    R.... C....

    BEYOND INDEED.....😇😇😇😇😇🌟🌟🌟🌟💫💫💫💫💫💖💖💖💖💖💖

    R.... C....

    Bought MY 1st Moodies album, "In Search of the Lost Chord", a year later than you but the rest of your reply here very closely matches up to my life's experience with this awesome band. Tnx for posting for us both, Ron .... and sharing.
